Crazy to look at that CO2 per capita chart and see that we're lower now than any time since the 40s at least.
About 25% down from 2008.

NASA has no control of flight paths. The FAA also doesn't specify sonic-boom allowed flight paths. They just outright ban it (with a few exceptions) for any boom that could reach anywhere in the US.
FAA also doesn't want to deal with people complaining about sonic booms like they did back in the 50s when this all started (they received tens of thousands of complaints) so they have an interest in making sure NASA lives up to their promises.
Yes, they would reduce the overpressure. By how much I'm not sure, but that's part of the research.
They're promising a perceived 75 dB level, equivalent to the volume of a dishwasher. Sonic booms are normally about 110 dB or about a jackhammer or a rock concert
And it's not like you'd hear it all the time, just once in a while and only if you're in the flight path.
FYI, emotional support animals aren't protected on flights any more than other animals on flights, meaning they have to stay in a crate/kennel.
Only service animals can be outside of the carrier and there's extra paperwork associated with that.
Ukrainian soldiers in 2014 vs 2022.
The U.S. and allies, despite what a lot of people say (usually something like "why haven't they helped since the war actually started in 2014") helped transform the Ukranian military into the capable fighting force it is today, and the work started years ago.
I bet you're a blast at parties.
There are many cases of people being sentenced to death wrongfully. For that reason the punishment shouldn't exist.
World record is closer to 24 minutes underwater

I will say that this is both a benefit and a detriment to lemmy in my experience. You have to pay attention to multiple levels of information.
